I suspect that this is because some clueless network administrators have given machines on their LAN's these addresses. The computer that have these ip addresses will be behind NAT's so when they make outgoing connections it comes from a real ip allocated by the ISP they are connected through. Another classic one is morons who use 192.0.0.0/8 instead of 192.168.0.0/16 then wonder why they can't reach website like adobe.com at 192.150.14.120 zb _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
